China and Kenya in joint initiative to protect wildlife

NAIROBI: The government and people of Kenya have made great strides in wildlife conservation. Their hard work has paid off because today, the poaching of wildlife for ivory has decreased by 80 per cent.

Like Kenya, China places a high premium on wildlife protection and nature. In recent days, Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasised that clean water and green mountains are endowments from nature. Under this principle, China has worked tirelessly to conserve the environment. Presently, China is working on the 13th Five-Year Plan to promote ecological conservation.
To build a Beautiful China, the protection of rare or endangered species is key. The law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Wildlife was enacted in 1988, while China signed up to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in 1981.
